Any and all criticism of Israel, it's politics or actions is Anti-Semetic.

Now why would ask such a question and then "like" an immediate post thereafter which is nothing but a strawman?
But for anyone else besides you who maybe is actually curious, Albanese has said in the past that the US is controlled by the Jewish lobby and that the Oct.7 attacks themselves had nothing to do with antisemitism.
Now perhaps this doesn't approach lynching advocacy territory, but for a supposed rapporteur* on the Palestinian situation she seems to be entirely on one side of it.
I first noticed her in one of these Gaza topics, in a video where she got stuffy with some reporter asking about what documentary evidence there was for genocide being ordered in Gaza, proceeding to dodge the question and tell him something like "what, do you think the Hutus in Rwanda needed any permission?". Which makes me think she believes it's just in Jewish tribal/ethnic nature to want to kill Arabs or something.
*which is not a "UN expert" (i.e. someone who is paid by them) but some academic who gives reports to it on what's going in, but maybe the BBC is just confused to realize that.

Because of your past behavior on this forum. But if you want to me to automatically assume you're speaking in bad faith from now on instead of asking, then by all means, I will comply!

Yes, the BBC is very confused about this UN expert term.
IRC it has often quoted them promoting partisan positions whether about
child poverty in the UK or supposed anti-black racism in the UK
As far as I am concerned the term ought to be used more cautiously.

Israeli defence minister plans to move Gaza's population to camp in Rafah
Israel's defence minister says he has instructed its military to prepare a plan to move all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp in the south of the territory, Israeli media reports say.Israel Katz told journalists on Monday he wanted to establish a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of the city of Rafah to initially house about 600,000 Palestinians - and eventually the whole 2.1 million population.
He said the goal was to bring people inside after security screening to ensure they were not Hamas operatives, and that they would not be allowed to leave.
If conditions allowed, he added, construction would begin during a 60-day ceasefire that Israel and Hamas are trying to negotiate.
One Israeli human rights lawyer condemned it as nothing less than an "operational plan for a crime against humanity".
"It is all about population transfer to the southern tip of the Gaza Strip in preparation for deportation outside the strip," Michael Sfard told the Guardian newspaper.
The UN has also previously warned that the deportation or forcible transfer of an occupied territory's civilian population is strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law and "tantamount to ethnic cleansing".
There was no immediate comment from the Palestinian Authority or Hamas.
Later on Monday, during a meeting at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about US President Donald Trump's proposal that the US take over post-war Gaza and permanently resettle its population elsewhere.
Netanyahu said: "I think President Trump has a brilliant vision. It's called free choice. If people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave...
"We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realise what they always say - that they wanted to give the Palestinians a better future."
Trump said: "We've had great co-operation from... surrounding countries, great cooperation from every single one of them. So, something good will happen."
In March, Arab states backed a $53bn (£39bn) Egyptian alternative to Trump's plan for Gaza's reconstruction that would allow the Palestinians living there to stay in place.
They also stressed their "categorical rejection of any form of displacement of the Palestinian people", describing such an idea as "a gross violation of international law, a crime against humanity and ethnic cleansing".
The Palestinian Authority and Hamas also endorsed the Egyptian plan, but the US and Israel said it failed to address realities in Gaza.
Palestinians fear a repeat of the Nakba - the Arabic word for "catastrophe" - when hundreds of thousands fled or were driven from their homes before and during the war that followed the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
Many of those refugees ended up in Gaza, where they and their descendants make up three-quarters of the population. Another 900,000 registered refugees live in the occupied West Bank, while 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, according to the UN.
The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
More than 57,500 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
Most of Gaza's population has also been displaced multiple times. More than 90% of homes are estimated to be damaged or destroyed; the healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems have collapsed; and there are shortages of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.

This is an identical policy to concentration camps used by colonial authorities from Cuba to South Africa to the Philippines to Malaya since the late 19th century. Force everyone into concentration camps, usually with absolutely horrifying conditions of deprivation, then kill everyone who isn't inside them.
Incidentally, guess how many of those colonial regimes still control the target population and the territory they were on. There's not much coming back from obscene policies like this.

Children queuing for supplements killed in Israeli strike in Gaza, hospital says
At least 15 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, have been killed in an Israeli strike near a medical point in central Gaza, a hospital there says.Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital said the strike hit people queueing for nutritional supplements in the town of Deir al-Balah. Graphic video from the hospital showed the bodies of several children and others lying on the floor as medics treated their wounds.
The Israeli military said it targeted a "Hamas terrorist" in the area. It said it "regret[ted] any harm to uninvolved individuals" and that the incident was "under review".
Another 26 people were reportedly killed in strikes elsewhere in Gaza on Thursday, as Israeli and Hamas delegations continued negotiations for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal at indirect talks in Doha.
Despite optimism expressed by the US, which is acting as a mediator along with Qatar and Egypt, they do not so far seem to have come close to a breakthrough.
At al-Aqsa hospital's mortuary, relatives of those killed wept as they wrapped the dead children in white shrouds and body bags before performing funeral prayers.
One woman told the BBC that her pregnant niece, Manal, and her daughter, Fatima, were among them, and that Manal's son was in the intensive care unit.
"She was queuing to get the children supplements when the incident happened, I don't know what happened after that," Intisar said.
Another woman standing said nearby said: "For what sin were they killed?"
"We are dying before the ears and eyes of the whole world. The whole world is watching the Gaza Strip. If people aren't killed by the Israeli army, they die trying to get aid."
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it struck a member of the elite Nukhba forces of Hamas's military wing who had taken part in the 7 October 2023 attack on Israel.
"The IDF is aware of reports regarding a number of injured individuals in the area. The incident is under review," it added. "The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals."
The attack happened as mediators attempted to build momentum towards a ceasefire deal at talks in Doha.
However, significant gaps between Israel and Hamas appear to remain.
On Wednesday night, a senior Israeli official told journalists in Washington that it could take one or two weeks to reach an agreement.
The official, who was speaking during a visit to the US by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also said that if an agreement was reached on a 60-day ceasefire, Israel would use that time to offer a permanent end to the war that would require Hamas to disarm. If Hamas refused to disarm, Israel would "proceed" with military operations, they added.
Earlier, Hamas issued a statement saying that the talks had been difficult, blaming Israeli "intransigence".
The group said it had shown flexibility in agreeing to release 10 hostages, but it reiterated that it was seeking a "comprehensive" agreement that would end the Israeli offensive.
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
At least 57,680 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
Most of Gaza's population has also been displaced multiple times. More than 90% of homes are estimated to be damaged or destroyed; the healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems have collapsed; and there are shortages of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.

International law expert explains illegality of Israel’s forced displacement threats
We’ve spoken to international law expert Ralph Wilde about “voluntary” movement vs forced displacement, asking him to explain how voluntary flight from a conflict could be when homes and infrastructure have been decimated as well as how the plans to either concentrate Palestinians in the ruins of Rafah or push them beyond Gaza fit into that.
Here’s what he said:
“We have to start with the illegality of Israel’s presence in and of itself.
“Israel has no right even to be in Gaza or in the West Bank, and therefore, everything Israel does there, because its presence is illegal, is also illegal, including the way it treats the Palestinian people at the moment and in implementing any of these plans for forced displacement whether within or outside of Gaza.
“Any such action is part of a presence which is itself illegal as a violation of the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people and also as an unlawful use of force and aggression.
“That’s the starting point. Then also, there are other rules of international law that Israel would be breaching, rules which are concerned with not whether Israel’s presence is illegal, which is the case, but rather the way Israel conducts itself as part of that presence.
“And there indeed we have very clear rules of international law which prohibit the forced transfer of the population within Gaza or indeed also the West Bank – not only transfer outside of that territory but also forced transfer within it.
“Such forced transfer is illegal. It’s illegal as a grave violation of the laws of war and is, therefore, both a violation of international law on the part of Israel as a state but also a war crime as a matter of individual criminal responsibility on the part of all those individuals involved in it – from the soldiers implementing it all the way up to the leadership adopting it as a policy.
“Also because it’s part of a widespread and systematic attack directed against the Palestinian people, it is also a crime against humanity, again at the level of state responsibility and individual criminal responsibility.
“Finally, it is also genocide. It is part of the existing, ongoing process of intending to inflict on the Palestinian people conditions of life calculated to destroy them in whole or in part – so essentially, a war crime, a crime against humanity and the crime of genocide at both an individual criminal level and at the level of the state.”

Two Palestinians killed in West Bank settler attack, health ministry says
Two Palestinians, one a dual US citizen, have been killed in an attack by Israeli settlers on a town in the north of the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian health ministry.The Israeli military said stones were thrown at Israelis near Sinjil and that "a violent confrontation developed in the area".
It added that security forces were looking into the reports of one Palestinian being killed, and the incident involving the second was under review.
There was a surge in violence in the West Bank even before Hamas's attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which triggered the war in Gaza.
Since then, the UN says at least 910 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank, 13 by Israeli settlers, and another seven by either Israeli forces or settlers. At least 44 Israelis have also been killed in Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank.
Sayfollah Musallet, a 23-year-old dual US citizen from Florida, was fatally beaten during the incident on Friday evening in Sinjil, the Palestinian ministry said.
The second man, Mohammed al-Shalabi, also 23, died after being shot in the chest, it added.
The US state department said it was "aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank", and that it had no further comment "out of respect for the privacy of the family".
Sayfollah Musallet, a businessman whose nickname was Saif, travelled from his home in Tampa to the West Bank on 4 June, according to his family.
A statement alleged that he was "brutally beaten to death by Israeli settlers while he was protecting his family's land from settlers who were attempting to steal it".
"Israeli settlers surrounded Saif for over three hours as paramedics attempted to reach him, but the mob of settlers blocked the ambulance and paramedics from providing life-saving aid."
"After the mob of Israeli settlers cleared, Saif's younger brother rushed to carry his brother to the ambulance. Saif died before making it to the hospital."
The statement added: "We demand the US state department lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes."
Official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Mohammed al-Shalabi was from the town of al-Mazraa al-Sharqiya, just south of Sinjil.
It cited the Palestinian health ministry as saying that he was shot in the chest by settlers, during the same attack in which Sayfollah Musallet was killed.
He was left bleeding for hours before paramedics were able to reach him, it added.
Wafa reported than another 10 Palestinians from Sinjil and neighbouring areas were injured in the clashes with settlers who were armed with automatic rifles.
The Israeli military said in a statement on Friday night that "terrorists hurled rocks at Israeli civilians adjacent to Sinjil", lightly injuring two of them.
"A violent confrontation developed in the area involving Palestinians and Israeli civilians, which included vandalism of Palestinian property, arson, physical clashes, and rock hurling."
The military said soldiers, police and paramilitary Border Police forces were dispatched to the area and "used riot dispersal means in response to the violent confrontation".
It added that it was "aware of reports regarding a Palestinian civilian killed and a number of injured Palestinians as a result of the confrontation", and that they were being looked into by the Shin Bet security service and the Israel Police.
When asked by the BBC on Saturday for a response to the reports that a second Palestinian was killed, the military said: "The situation is under review".
Separately, the US embassy in Jerusalem has said it condemns recent violence by Israeli settlers against the Christian town of Taybeh in the West Bank.
Most of the land there is owned by Palestinian-Americans and, according to locals, some 300 residents are US passport holders.
Attacks, including by masked men torching cars and attacking homes, have ramped up. On Monday, settlers set fields ablaze close to a fifth-Century church, leading to a call for international action from the town's priests.
The State Department said in response it had no higher priority than the safety and security of US citizens overseas and that protecting Christians was a priority for President Donald Trump.
There has been a sharp increase in the number and severity of settler attacks in the West Bank since Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack. The UN says there were 136 attacks by settlers resulting in casualties or property damage in May alone.
Israel has built about 160 settlements housing some 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land Palestinians want, along with Gaza, for a hoped-for future state - during the 1967 Middle East war. An estimated 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.
The settlements are considered illegal under international law - a position supported by an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year - although Israel disputes this.
On Thursday, a 22-year-old Israeli security guard Shalev Zvuluny was shot and killed when two Palestinian men opened fire and tried to stab passerbys in the car park of a shopping centre in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, in the south of the West Bank.
The attackers were shot dead by soldiers and armed civilians present at the scene, police said.

Children fetching water killed in Israeli strike in Gaza, emergency officials say
Ten people, including six children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting to fill water containers in central Gaza on Sunday, emergency service officials say.Their bodies were sent to Nuseirat's al-Awda Hospital, which also treated 16 injured people including seven children, a doctor there said.
Eyewitnesses said a drone fired a missile at a crowd queuing with empty jerry cans next to a water tanker in al-Nuseirat refugee camp.
The Israeli military has been asked to comment.
Separately, the International Committee of the Red Cross said it had treated more mass casualty cases at its Rafah field hospital in southern Gaza in the last six weeks than in the 12 months before that.
Unverified footage shared online after the strike showed bloodied children and lifeless bodies, with screams of panic and desperation.
Residents rushed to the scene and transported the wounded using private vehicles and donkey carts.
The strike came as Israeli aerial attacks across the Gaza Strip have escalated.
A spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defence Agency said 19 other Palestinians had been killed on Sunday, in three separate strikes on residential buildings in central Gaza and Gaza City.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said that its field hospital in Rafah had received 132 patients "suffering from weapon-related injuries" on Saturday, 31 of whom died.
ICRC said the "overwhelming majority" of the patients had gunshot wounds and "all responsive individuals" reported they had been trying to access food distribution sites.
It added that the hospital had treated more than 3,400 weapon-wounded patients and recorded more than 250 deaths since new food distribution sites opened on 27 May - exceeding "all mass casualty cases treated at the hospital" in the year prior.
"The alarming frequency and scale of these mass casualty incidents underscore the horrific conditions civilians in Gaza are enduring," the ICRC said.
On Saturday, southern Gaza's Nasser hospital said 24 people were killed near an aid distribution site, where witnesses said Israeli troops had opened fire as people were trying to access food.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said there were "no known injured individuals" from IDF fire near the site. Separately, an Israeli military official said warning shots were fired to disperse people who the IDF believed were a threat.
The UN human rights office said on Friday that it had so far recorded 789 aid-related killings.
It said that of those, 615 were in the vicinity of the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)'s sites, which opened on 27 May and are operated by US private security contractors inside military zones in southern and central Gaza.
The other 183 killings were recorded near UN and other aid convoys.
The Israeli military said it recognised there had been incidents in which civilians had been harmed and that it was working to minimise "possible friction between the population and the [Israeli] forces as much as possible".
The GHF accused the UN of using "false and misleading" statistics from Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.
GHF boss Johnnie Moore previously told the BBC he was not denying deaths near aid sites, but said "100% of those casualties are being attributed to close proximity to GHF" and that was "not true".
Israel does not allow international news organisations, including the BBC, into Gaza.
Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas's cross-border attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
At least 57,882 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
Most of Gaza's population has been displaced multiple times.
More than 90% of homes are estimated to be damaged or destroyed. The healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems have collapsed, and there are shortages of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
This week, for the first time in 130 days, 75,000 litres of fuel was allowed into Gaza - "far from enough to meet the daily needs of the population and vital civilian aid operations", the United Nations said.
Nine UN agencies warned on Saturday that Gaza's fuel shortage had reached "critical levels", and if fuel ran out, it would affect hospitals, water systems, sanitation networks and bakeries.
"Hospitals are already going dark, maternity, neonatal and intensive care units are failing, and ambulances can no longer move," the UN said.

Deadly airstrike on Gaza Catholic church condemned by Pope Leo
2 people killed, several injured in strike at Holy Family Church in Gaza
An airstrike on Gaza's sole Catholic Church killed two people and injured several others, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said on Thursday."Two persons were killed as a result of an apparent strike by the Israeli army that hit the Holy Family Compound this morning," the Patriarchate said in a statement.
The Holy Family Church in Gaza spoke in a separate statement of "a number of injured, some in critical condition."
In a telegram for the victims, Pope Leo said he was "deeply saddened" and called for "an immediate ceasefire."
The Pope expressed his "profound hope for dialogue, reconciliation and enduring peace in the region," according to the telegram, which was signed by the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said they were "aware of reports regarding damage caused to the Holy Family Church in Gaza City and casualties at the scene. The circumstances of the incident are under review."
"The IDF makes every feasible effort to mitigate harm to civilians and civilian structures, including religious sites, and regrets any damage caused to them," the statement added.
Italy's Meloni slams Israel
Israel's foreign ministry said in a statement on X that the results of the investigation would be published. It also said the country did not target churches or religious sites and regretted harm to them or civilians.The Patriarchate earlier said the parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli, was among those injured, and his church had sustained damage.
- Every night during war, Pope Francis called Gaza's only Catholic Church in 'singular expression of love'
- Israel reverses decision, allows Gaza Christians to visit Christmas sites
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni blamed Israel for the strike on the religious compound.
"The attacks against the civilian population that Israel has been carrying out for months are unacceptable. No military action can justify such an attitude," she said in a statement.

Dozens killed by Israeli gunfire near aid sites in south Gaza, Hamas-run ministry says
At least 32 Palestinians seeking food have been killed by Israeli gunfire near two aid distribution points close to Khan Younis and Rafah in southern Gaza, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.Dozens were also injured near the two sites run by the controversial US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), it said.
The GHF said there were no incidents "at or near" their sites, but that there had been "Israel Defense Forces (IDF) activity" hours before their sites were due to open.
One eyewitness told the Reuters news agency that the Israeli gunfire seemed "targeted to kill".
The Palestinian ministry of health said a number of bodies were taken to nearby Nasser hospital on Saturday morning.
There are almost daily reports of Palestinians being killed while seeking aid since the GHF began operations in late May. Witnesses say most have been shot by Israeli forces.
The IDF told the BBC that in the latest incident, troops fired warning shots to prevent "suspects" approaching them, saying the incident happened before the aid sites opened.
Mohammed Al-Khalidi, speaking to Reuters, pointed the finger at the Israeli army for the attack.
He said he was part of a group of Palestinians who had been told the GHF aid distribution centre was open, but when they arrived tanks began moving towards them and opened fire.
"It wasn't shots that were to scare us or to organize us, it was shots that were targeted to kill us, if they wanted to organize us they would have, but they meant to kill us."
The GHF uses private security contractors to distribute aid from sites in Israeli military zones. Israel and the US say the system is necessary to stop Hamas from stealing aid. The UN refuses to co-operate with it, describing it as unethical and saying no evidence has been offered of Hamas systematically diverting aid.
On 15 July, the UN human rights office said it had so far recorded 674 killings in the vicinity of the GHF's four sites in southern and central Gaza over the past six weeks.
Another 201 killings had been recorded along routes of UN and other aid convoys, it added.
The GHF denies that there have been any deadly incidents in close proximity to its sites and accused the UN of using "false and misleading" figures from Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry. The ministry's figures are widely seen as a reliable count of bodies seen by Gazan hospitals.
Israel does not allow international news organisations, including the BBC, to send journalists into the territory.
The UN also said this week that the number of acutely malnourished children has doubled since Israel began restricting food entering the territory in March. Despite the creation of the GHF significant amounts of aid, including baby formula, is still being blocked at the border.
On Friday, the director of one field hospital said in a statement that they had an unprecedented influx of patients suffering from severe exhaustion, emaciation and acute malnutrition.
So far, 69 children have died from malnutrition during the increasing humanitarian crisis, according to the Hamas government media office.
On Friday, US President Donald Trump once again suggested a ceasefire deal was very near – but a Palestinian official told the BBC that talks remain blocked, with a latest troop withdrawal map proposed by Israel still unacceptable to Hamas.
